SUMMARY:Concerto Without Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:YST Head of Piano Prof Albert Tiu takes the stage in a celebration of all things solo – beginning with J.S. Bach’s Italian Concerto\, which originally uses the two manuals of the harpsichord to imitate the various instrumental sections in an orchestra; followed by the fervent energy of Schumann’s ‘Concerto Without Orchestra’; and closing with the sweeping Romanticism of Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto\, in an arrangement for solo piano by Prof Tiu himself\, an apt reference to the 1975 pop ballad ‘All By Myself’\, which was inspired by the second movement of this work. \n  \nPROGRAMME \nJOHANN SEBASTIAN BACHConcerto in the Italian Style\, BWV 971 \nROBERT SCHUMANNPiano Sonata No. 3 in F minor\, Op. 14 (‘Concerto Without Orchestra’) \n– 15 minutes intermission – \nSERGEI RACHMANINOFF arr. ALBERT TIUPiano Concerto No. 2 in C minor\, Op. 18 \n  \nTICKETING INFORMATION \nTickets at $15 via yst.eventbrite.com. \nOut of respect for the participants and other spectators\, no children under 6 years of age will be allowed admission. \nBe the first to hear about our upcoming events!

SUMMARY:UPSCALE: Graduating Cohort Concert
DESCRIPTION:Blossoming through a 4-year journey\, the YST Graduating Class of 2025 presents their Graduating Cohort Concert — a musical that reflects on the realities of growth and self-discovery.  \nIn the year 2035\, five friends reunite for their 10-year anniversary of their graduation from Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music\, reminiscing about their time there and reflecting on how their lives have unfolded since. Laughter masks simmering tensions as they compare their present lives — music teacher Taylor (Kalia Craig (BMus4\, French Horn))\, celebrated artist Sam (Kim Ohyeon (BMus4\, Voice))\, corporate Hannah (Kira Lim (BMus4\, Voice))\, emerging producer Gaius (Jason Suryaatmaja (BMus4\, Voice))\, and dishwasher/gig musician Wai Meng (Elton Lee (BMus4\, MSMCP)) — with the dreams of their youth. \nOld wounds reopen as midlife anxieties\, past betrayals\, and compromised ideals surface. Have they become who they were meant to be? And at what cost? As the night unfolds\, they must confront the price of their choices and decide if it’s still worth paying. \nFeaturing heartfelt performances of crowd-favourites from the classical\, popular\, and musical theatre repertoire: \n\nCheek to Cheek (From Top Hat)\nSeptember (by Earth\, Wind & Fire)\nNimrod (from Enigma Variations)\nPa-Pa-Pa Duet (from The Magic Flute)\nMoney\, Money\, Money (by ABBA)\nFor Good (from Wicked)\nPavane pour une infante defunte (by Ravel)\nLibiamo (by Verdi)\nThe Long and Winding Road (by The Beatles)\nAnd more…\n\n  \nTICKETING INFORMATION \nTickets at $15 via yst.eventbrite.com. \nOut of respect for the participants and other spectators\, no children under 6 years of age will be allowed admission. \nBe the first to hear about our upcoming events!

SUMMARY:Asia-Pacific Improvisers Symposium 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Asia-Pacific Improvisers Symposium brings together a diverse group of artists and practitioners from across the region to engage in a critical exploration of improvisation through performance\, dialogue\, and collaboration. \nBuilding on recent shifts in European music education over the past decade\, where improvisation has gained recognition as both an art form and academic discipline\, this inaugural symposium draws on the vibrancy of musical cultures and contemporary developments in the Asia-Pacific region — which provide a rich foundation for exploring improvisation\, not only as a form of artistic expression but also as a useful tool for music education. \nLook forward to two days of engaging showcases\, with artists including Taceti Ensemble (Thailand)\, Hanoi New Music Ensemble (Vietnam)\, weird aftertaste music (Singapore)\, and the Bridge Ensemble which draws together faculty from YST and LASALLE College of the Arts (Singapore). Each day comprises performance-presentation showcases by artists\, framed with an opening keynote as well as collective dialogue. The symposium culminates in a closing concert with the YST Orchestral Institute – featuring a dynamic programme of beloved orchestral works and collaborative creation inspired by the city and its soundscape. \n  \nPROGRAMME  \nClick here to view the full symposium programme booklet. \nFriday\, 21 February 2025 \nAM Session9:00–9:30am: Coffee9:30–9:45am: Symposium Opening by Karst de Jong9:45-10:30am: Keynote by Timothy O’Dwyer10:30am–12:00pm: Showcase by John Sharpley and Yii Kah Hoe12.00–1:30pm: Lunch Break (*meal not provided) \nPM Session1:30–3:00pm: Showcase by Robert Burke and Jeonghyeon Joo\, Jiyun Song & Jisu Han3:00–4:30pm: Forum – Improvisation around the Region4:30–5:00pm: Coffee Break5:00–6:30pm: Showcase by Bridge Ensemble (Darren Moore\, Timothy O’Dwyer\, Tony Makarome\, Karst de Jong) and Black Zenith (Darren Moore and Brian O’ Reily)6:30–8:00pm: Dinner Break (*meal not provided)8:00–9:30pm: Evening Concert – weird aftertaste music and Taceti Ensemble \nSaturday\, 22 February 2025 \nAM Session9:00–9:45am: Coffee9:45–10:30am: Keynote by Franziska Schroeder on the intersection of AI and music10:30am–12:00pm: Showcase by Hanoi New Music Ensemble and Synap + Syafiq12:00–1:30pm: Lunch break (*meal not provided) \nPM Session1:30–3:00pm: Showcase by Churen Li & Roberto Alonso\, and Roger Dean3:00–4:15pm: Roundtable Discussion and concurrent coffee break4:30–6.00pm: Showcase by Radar Suara and RedSpills6:00–7:30pm: Dinner Break (*meal not provided)7:30–9:30pm: Closing Concert – Ones To Watch: Sounds of the City \n  \nAdmission is free with registration via yst.eventbrite.com. \nBe the first to hear about our upcoming events!

SUMMARY:Ones to Watch – Sounds of the City
DESCRIPTION:“Marconi plays the mamba\, listen to the radio\, don’t you remember?We built this city\, we built this city on rock and roll.”– Starship\, from We Built This City \nJust as cities are built on innovation\, unity and change\, music comes alive through the dynamic interplay of structure\, collaboration and artistic expression. Each contribution\, small and large\, forms a building block to the growing complexity and vibrance of the whole. \nFrom the poetic lyricism in hidden corners of Aaron Copland’s jazz-infused Clarinet Concerto (performed by YST Concerto Competition 2024 prizewinner Zheng Shanxi) to the pulse of city streets in George Gershwin’s An American in Paris (in Mark Clague’s new critical edition)\, each piece highlights the collisions of cultures and ideas that define both urbanity and musicality. Witness as well how our orchestral musicians create\, curate\, and improvise the sonic structure of this cityscape in ‘We Build This City’\, a new collaborative creation that will form the central panel in this urban triptych. \nJourney with us through these soundscapes of urban life\, and experience the synergies of musical creativity in this closing concert for the Asia-Pacific Improvisers Symposium. \nSupported by the Shaw Foundation Ones to Watch Series. \n \n  \nPROGRAMME \nYST ORCHESTRAL INSTITUTEwithJASON LAI\, conductorZHENG SHANXI (BMus4)\, clarinet \n  \nAARON COPLANDClarinet Concerto*Concerto Prizewinner Showcase by Zheng Shanxi\, clarinet \nYST ORCHESTRAL INSTITUTEfacilitated by KARST DE JONG and JONATHAN SHINCollaborative Creation: ‘We Build This City’ \nGEORGE GERSHWIN ed.
